AggroChat #542 – Oh, It’s Brat

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/12

Hey Folks! We start off the show with a discussion about how we all dogpiled on Discord and attempted the pre-release version of the MIT Mystery Hunt… and for those completely lost about the show title, one of the clues to one of the puzzles… was just the specific color of the Charlie XCX Brat ...

Tricks and Treats

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/10

Good Morning Folks. Last night I officially started the Mad King festivities as we spend our normal few hours of guild nonsense running around the labyrinth. It was a pretty fun time, and eventually we largely followed around a tag. However not before some random idiot seemed to take very hostile offense to us having ...

Jotunn and Felblades

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/09

Good Morning Folks. Ace and I got together early in the evening and ran around a bunch of Destiny Rising. Of course we had to do our Ikora nonsense, and we realized there was a clear pattern. We have the first round where we do pretty damned good, and honestly rank fairly high overall. For ... Read more The post Jotunn and Felblades appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

The Catch-Up Tax

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/08

Good Morning Folks. I did not end up blogging yesterday, because admittedly I am going through a bit of a funk. I’ve been fighting what I think is allergies, because ragweed is booming and it is traditionally my worst allergy. However it has been a struggle to drag myself out of bed in the morning ...

Irrationally Large Box

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/06

Good Morning Folks. Starting this morning’s post off with a picture of Gracie being super snuggly. It was a good weekend, but a busy weekend. I spent a lot of time working in the garage and set up the first of the storage shelves, and then cleared the room for the next one… which I ...

AggroChat #541 – Seeking Trikora

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/05

We had a pretty meandering show where we thought we ran out of topics… and then suddenly remembered a few more at the very end. We start with talking about Grace and Bel’s adventures in All Ikora PVPVE nonsense with Destiny Rising. From there, Grace talks about the full release of Slime Rancher 2, and ...

Splitting the Party

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/03

Good Morning Folks. Last night was our usual Guild Wars 2 shenanigans night and we spent most of it running random fractals through the new quick play system. Of our group, I am the only one who has completed all of the steps required to get legendary gloves and finish the 500 dust achievement that ...

Goodbye Gamepass, Hello Raids

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/02

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday we got some great news from Guild Wars 2 that the quick play feature that has been a rousing success during the Fractal Incursion event would be coming for the new combined raid system. Essentially they are taking strikes and raid wings and merging them into a new feature, and then ... Read more The post Goodbye Gamepass, Hello Raids appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Thirty Million Gold

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/10/01

Good Morning Folks. I am still struggling a bit with this respiratory crud, but am doing better enough to be able to function and actually work today. If it drags on, I will end up going to the doctor but given that I doubt there is anything that they can do other than put me ...

Yon Bus of Struggle

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/30

I am getting around to posting a bit later than normal today, because I am a bit sick and fighting some generic respiratory crud. I think it is largely allergies because we are in Ragweed season… and it is by far my worst allergy. I also kicked up a bunch of dust last week in ...

Ancestral or Bust

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/29

Good Morning Folks. On Tuesday the 10th Season dropped for Diablo IV and I have been spending a good chunk of my time playing a Pulverize Druid. I am still mostly in my leveling build phase, but that is largely for lack of reasonable gear drops which I will talk about later. I would love ...

AggroChat #540 – Suck It Grandpa

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/28

We are down a Grace this week, but carry forward with a handful of topics. Bel talks about Diablo IV Season 10 after having sat out for a few seasons. The game is in a pretty good state now. Bel also goes on a tirade about how much he dislikes the builder/spender architecture in ARPGs ... Read moreThe post AggroChat #540 – Suck It Grandpa appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Suspicious Dongle

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/25

Good Morning Folks. For awhile now I have used a wireless headset downstairs with my laptop, and I have come to love it. The only real problem with it is that I wish it were semi-open like the Superlux headphones that I use upstairs. When led me down the path of wishing there was a ...

Bears and Blunderbusses

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/24

Morning Folks. It rained most of the day and so far it seems like the fix from the roofers is working. That said, it has only ever leaked when it was torrential rain, and instead we got a light drizzle. I finally washed the towels, but here is a picture of Gracie guarding against leaks. ...

Froggy Woggy

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/23

Good Morning Folks. I am getting a bit of a late start to the blog this morning because I had to do a fasting blood draw. Nothing serious, just one of those things that I have to do every year to keep from having to pay a $60 per month surcharge on our corporate insurance ...

Estela Get and Battle Pass Done

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/22

Good Morning Folks. I played a truly excessive amount of Destiny Rising over the weekend. One of the big takeaways of the weekend is that while you have a limited amount of pinnacle rewards currency… doing content without this currency is still worth doing. Namely grinding Strikes and Gauntlet Blitz can still reward some really ... Read more The post Estela Get and Battle Pass Done appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

AggroChat #539 – Triple One Hundred

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/21

Hey Folks! This week, we have a second opinion of Destiny Rising to offset Bel’s fanaticism… and Grace doubles down on pretty much everything that has been said to this point. From there, Ash talks a bit about Alabaster Dawn, which currently has a demo available. Grace discusses her further adventures in idle gaming, this ...

Animation Adoration

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/18

Good Morning Folks. I’ve been on a bit of an anime kick of late. I am not entirely certain what led me down this rabbit hole but something… prompted me to give Dan Da Dan a shot. It took about three episodes before I was hopelessly hooked, but last weekend I spent most of Saturday ... Read moreThe post Animation Adoration appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Four Twenty Four

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2025/09/17

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday was a bit of a busy day. I went to a new eye doctor, that required a bit of a journey to get there. My family has a history of retina detachment and I have been struggling with floaters… so I figured it was time to get on boarded to a ...

Hot Goth Waifu

2025/09/16

Good Morning Folks. Yesterday I talked about Guild Wars 2, and while I am spending the majority of my time over there grinding out the Fractal event… I still playing quite a bit of Destiny Rising each day. Essentially you get 120 activity reward currency and I am trying to spend this down every day ... Read more The post Hot Goth Waifu appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.
